Lloyd Garmadon, the son of the infamous Lord Garmadon, bore the brunt of hatred within Ninjago Highschool. His father, notorious for his frequent attempts to conquer Ninjago City, left a tainted legacy that followed Lloyd like a dark cloud, casting a shadow of scorn on the young man. Students in the school, seizing the opportunity to unleash their frustration and aggression, made his life a living hell, both mentally and physically.
Y/n, on the other hand, had been the golden boy of Ninjago for years. With a chiseled jawline and dazzling smile, he was the heartthrob of the school. His girlfriend, the captain of the cheerleading team, was the girl all the boys wanted, the object of their desire. Y/n's popularity had its perks, but as the bullying of Lloyd escalated to physical violence during their senior year, Y/n realized that he was no longer content to stand by and watch. The line had been crossed. He was determined to intervene, to be the voice of reason, to protect the one who was always at the receiving end of the school's ire.
In the midst of it all, Y/n had always considered himself heterosexual. He had never given much thought to the feelings he might have for someone of the same gender. His parents, staunch advocates for heterosexual norms, would be displeased if they learned of his newfound attraction. But being around Lloyd, a boy who carried the weight of a city's hatred, stirred emotions within Y/n that he couldn't explain away. His heart raced in a way he'd never experienced before. The pull towards Lloyd, a boy he had once thought he couldn't care less about, was growing stronger with each passing day. He had no idea Lloyd, had already been obsessed with him for years.
"Lego ninjago?" I rasp out, dragging my hand through the strands on my head.
"Okay so a perfect match. A soulmate?"
"Platonically..." There is no way.. Me, a grown ass man, would be up to date a child. That is against my morals... dream or not dream.
"Romantically." Nya corrects pointing to another symbol on the page.
"Y/n... you have to realize I'm not a child anymore."
"I'm sorry... I just... I can't-"
Lloyd's hand settled around my mouth, shutting me up, "I understand.. I mean I don't but... I won't give up."
'I won't give up'
Give up on what? This is simply to help us not be in pain.
Nothing more.
A painful pulse to my chest stopped my thought process.
Don't be an asshole, soul.
